Hi Everyone

To kick of the week, I'm taking a look back at my series, Snow Polo. Released in February of 2015, I can remember how excited I was to officially share the images, as it was such an incredible experience capturing them.Snow Polo St Moritz.Ever heardof it? If you have, then you know. If you haven't, then you were just like me when I first learned about it. Please allow me to elaborate -played atop a frozen lake below the magnificent snowy pistes of St. Moritz, the tournament is a spectacle of breathtaking surroundings and glistening glamour of the rich and famous.

Quite simply, I knew I had to see it to believe it and immediately made plans to attend in January of 2015. Capturing the championship on the ground and from above, this series pays tribute to the tradition of the "Sport of Kings" inspiring us to relish in its honorable and graceful spirit.

To really set the stage, lets first check out our Behind the Scenes Video.

The event is awe inspiring but it is also very fun.Snow Polo St. Moritzattracts a global crowdand every person you encounter is just as happy to be there as the next.The entire experience was such a thrill, which is why this series will always hold a special place for me.

Shooting from the air, the view was awe inspiring and tear inducing (due to the very chilly wind!)...

....and from the ground, it was frenetic!

In the end, the Cartier Team won in the finals, which is appropriate as they were awarded The CARTIER TROPHY. And, I was the winner of MANY spectacular images! To see them all, check out the Snow Polo page, and to read more about the series, check out my first post about it, right here.
